Answer: island off the Atlantic coast.
Explanation:
The Roanoke Colony was established on an island off the Atlantic coast of North America, in what today we know as North Carolina, in 1587.
Following Gov. John White, about 100 settlers ventured to colonize the island. However, White had to go back to England, and when he came back in August 1590, everyone had disappeared. The lost colony of Roanoke became one of the most famous enigmas in American history.
